How our Defense Team can Help the Citizens of San Bernardino County

Our team of attorneys, legal clerks and researchers and their extensive experience in defending criminal cases speaks volumes about their priorities. While many Orange County law firms want to avoid criminal trials and push their clients into plea deals, you should know that it’s not always the right choice; in fact, for an innocent person, it’s never the right choice.

Knowing California’s Penal Code as well as other legal statutes the district attorney or U.S. Attorneys may rely on, understanding the evidence code and federal rules of evidence and possessing the confidence and courtroom presence to impress the juries and the judges are just some of the characteristics that our criminal law firm offers. Those statutes and codes and rules of evidence are put into place to protect your rights. The difference is that not every criminal defense attorney knows how to use those tools for the benefit of his client. We do. We use them every day in courtrooms around California.

Can a Criminal Defense Firm in Riverside Represent Me if I’m not in This Country Legally?

Did you know that undocumented immigrants have rights in our country? It’s understandable that those who are here without proper documentation want to do anything to avoid detection, but if you are detained, you should know what will and just as importantly, what won’t happen. You won’t be deported immediately. You have legal rights. If you are arrested, it might be the federal police, such as ICE will be in contact with local law enforcement, or depending on what kind of charges you may be facing, it might be local law enforcement that contacts federal agencies.

There are many national and international databases and in some cases, if ICE sees your name on one of those databases, it may file a detainer, which is simply paperwork stating its desire for local law enforcement to hold you for a specific and very limited period of time. This allows ICE to find you at a later time to explore whether or not deportation proceedings should begin. This extended time period cannot extend past 48 hours. If ICE has not interviewed or detained you, you must be released. If you’re being charged with a crime, you not only have a right to a solid criminal defense, you have options about who you choose to represent you. Take advantage of those options. You can contact our offices and our Orange County criminal defense attorneys will meet with you and your family to discuss the charges you are facing, what it means if you are found guilty and what will happen in the long term.
